Good luck, OP. You have a nice build and a unique project going on. Should be an awesome Sentra when it's all completed. I'm really looking forward to seeing your results, thanks for sharing this over here on the Z forums!

Default Video teaser

Just wanted to show this little video of the car. You have to hear this thing pur, it really sounds wicked. You can watch it in HD.

So based on how the car looks, would you ever expect anything other than a 4 cylinder under that hood?

Nope got the Serdi valve job done at the machinist here locally and used had a friend port the heads locally here as well. Will be posting updates on what I end up after tuning in a couple of weeks.

Nope, the car has solid mounts, only some traction problems, but a good set of slicks can fix that. Wheel hop is elminated. I have a modified front mount that is solid.

Not yet, theres a 2400HP mustang ahead of me to get wired of and tuned for a drag event, the builds is already overdue and it needs to go to Texas by the following weekend for an event, so then mine is after that. Just a waiting game, the tuner is putting a full rush on completeing the mustang first.

After that damn mustang is done, my car is next! It's been getting revamped and he is dedicating his full time to it.

Just have to wait.

In car modding I found that a virtue we must all learn is buddha's patience. No matter what it is, there is always a hold up... I've got my share of hold ups and my car this year has seen more down time then up. I'm sure your car will turn out great . Do you know when he'll be done with that mustang?
